ScholarPack and Assembly to partner on analytics for Multi Academy Trusts

25 January 2018

PRESS RELEASE

Innovative Management Information System (MIS) supplier ScholarPack chooses Assembly to handle all its management analytics and reporting for groups of schools.

With the growth in Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) in recent years, school software vendors are increasingly looking to enhance their software to serve the specific needs of these school networks. However, the wide variety of needs across different trusts make it a tricky market to address. That’s why Scholarpack have partnered with Assembly to ensure they can offer their schools a sector-leading approach to management analytics.

Assembly Analytics has been developed specifically for MATs, with input from Ark, Astrea, Samuel Ward and Windsor Academy Trusts. Assembly doesn’t just offer MATs an analytics tool; it also works with its partner MATs to incorporate their good practice into the product.

The partnership will create a range of benefits for MATs using Scholarpack, including:

Automatic syncing with all key data in the Scholarpack MIS, so there is no admin work required for schools to aggregate and analyse data from their MIS.

Additional benchmarks and contextualisation calculated by Assembly to help schools better understand their data in a national context.

The option to integrate data from other systems which connect to Assembly in areas such as finance, wellbeing and assessment. MATs using other MIS across the trust (in their secondaries, for example) can also bring this data into Assembly, ensuring a trust-wide view of all their data.

Richard Harley, CEO, ScholarPack: "Our MAT customers expect the best, and in our view, Assembly is the leading school analytics system on the market. We’re therefore delighted to be announcing this partnership that will ensure Assembly Analytics works seamlessly with ScholarPack for groups of schools."

Joshua Perry, Director, Assembly: “Great analytics helps schools to improve student outcomes, but in our experience many Multi Academy Trusts are still struggling with manual processes, complex spreadsheets and limited comparative data. If you’re a MAT using ScholarPack, this partnership means it’s easier than ever to put those issues behind you and use Assembly Analytics to serve your leadership analytics needs.”
